Good school

By Tamica, a Parent on Oct 11, 2013

This school gave my son second chance not because he was a bad kid, he just wasnt doing his work in high school. When i was referred by Gaither High I was kind of skeptical because I thought they was just trying to push him out because of his bad grades. After i decided this was a better option for him and enrolled him he was there for 2 years got his ged and he took the autmotive program now working he is an asstistant manager at his job. So over all I think its a good school.
